Sandie earned an MBA, specializing in Marketing and Strategy, from the Kellogg School of Business at Northwestern University, after graduating Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science degree from California State University, Northridge.

She began her marketing career at Avery Dennison Office Products and advanced quickly, earning a reputation for tenaciously searching for and finding market data in an industry with minimal information generally available, which she applied to developing market-driven strategies. While at Avery, Sandie successfully developed and launched the first photo line of products in a record-breaking three-month period, achieving $1million in the initial sales launch period.

Upon becoming an independent marketing consultant, Sandie was retained by Avery Dennison to serve as the Marketing Manager of their Latin America division. In this multi-national, multi-lingual role, Sandie demonstrated her ability to quickly learn about and assess new markets and to launch new products successfully. She demonstrated her sales ability by making business presentations to key retail customers which management credited with doubling product sales.

Her recent assignments include assisting a defense technology company to assess the market for a novel product in the commercial market, conducting market research to help them to understand key issues related to launching a new product outside their area of core competency.

She holds both U.S. and Mexican citizenship and speaks fluent Spanish.

Sandie lives in southern California with her husband and two children.
